#SONOS ONE GEN 1 UPDATE#
It was released in 2017 with a further second generation update in 2019, and is exactly the same size as the successful Sonos Play:1. What is the Sonos One? Sonos One - the all-in-one speaker with voice control (£199)įour years later after the Play:1, Sonos released their first ever smart speaker, the new Sonos One for £199 with Amazon Alexa built-in. Sonos responded to the demand for voice control by releasing their next speaker below. However, it was possible to add a separate Amazon Echo or Google Home device to the speaker to control the music via Alexa or Google Assistant on the Play:1. The Sonos Play:1 at £149 was released back in 2013 and being the baby WiFi speaker of the range, provided the listener with excellent room-filling sound at a budget.Īs opposed to the Sonos One and One SL, the Play:1 did not have voice control built in. UPDATE (September 2019) - The Play:1 has now been discontinued by Sonos. What’s the difference and which one should you go for? What is the Sonos Play:1? The Sonos One (Gen 2) vs One SLvs Play:1. However, I could foresee issues if you had a Sonos One in a garden outbuilding or far away from a router in an older home with thick stone walls.Three great Sonos speakers - one speaker that’s right for you The device's built-in wireless is powerful, though, and I've never experienced too many issues despite having the One in my kitchen, far from the router in the bedroom.
#SONOS ONE GEN 1 BLUETOOTH#
We'd recommend setting up a mesh network or getting a more powerful router, like the Eero 6 Pro, especially if you plan on having your One quite far away, as unlike a Bluetooth speaker you can't move your streaming source closer to the speaker. Sonos One needs good WiFi network coverageīecause the Sonos One speakers rely on having a constant internet connection to play music (there's no Bluetooth connection on offer), making sure your WiFi network is up to the task is important. Personally, I don't like the idea of having an always-on mic in my house so opted for the mic-less Sonos One, but it's something to keep in mind. If you love smart devices, such as the Amazon Echo, then this will be perfect and Sonos includes compatibility with major voice assistants. The only difference between them is the One SL comes with voice control, symbolised by a microphone on the top of the device. Sonos makes two versions of the One: the One and One SL. Luckily, besides the colour, the black and white versions are identical. But the black version look very sleek and might fit better with your living room or bedroom. I personally went for the white versions, which can look a little dirtier (obviously) but fit the aesthetic of my flat better. Depending on your decor, choosing between them is one of the most important choices. Sonos makes the One in two colours: white or black. You can also control granular settings, such as the EQ of each device, and group/un-group devices in different rooms. One good example is the huge library of music and background noise available in the app, some behind a monthly subscription paywall, that offer something different to other apps. While you might use Spotify or Apple Music as your main music app, the Sonos app – a requirement for setting up and managing your Sonos devices – works really well and comes with some nice features. This is a useful feature but I honestly don't think you need to do it unless you're looking to fill a very large room with audio.

You can also pair two Sonos One smart speakers together for stereo output, with distinct left and right channels delivered. Precise and nimble are good words to describe the Sonos One's audio output, with the overall soundstage well-balanced. Obviously, there isn't a huge amount of bass, but vocals are always clear and instruments stand out and are well defined. Sonos One sound quality is excellentĪs T3 states in its Sonos One review, this smart speaker is such a good buy as, for its size, it offers excellent sound quality.
